Workshops

Last summer, the OPOSSEM project distributed a call for participants to bring together a group of instructors to build some initial content to distribute on the stie. Two workshops were held--one full at the University of Iowa in July and a half-day at the Tower Center in Washington, D.C. in late August. Workshop participants drafted a list of core modules that correspond to topics covered in typical (primarily) quantitative methodology courses offered for undergraduates in political science. Participants then committed to developing a set of lecture slides/notes and problem sets for each of the modules. The results of the workshop are being contributed to OPOSSEM and are linked to below.
